Why should I see an endodontist?

Because of the large amounts of nerves that each person has in their mouth, it can be hard to pinpoint the exact tooth that is causing oral pain. An endodontist is able to locate the area attributed to the pain which could be a cracked or fractured tooth or a tooth suffering from disease.

In other cases, a blow to the mouth might cause pulp damage. A child's tooth might be permanently damaged and may cause the root to stop developing. These traumatic injuries can be treated by your local endodontist.
